Twitter set to automate retweets

Twitter is working on a way to automate its retweet process to enable smoother and more comprehensive access to information across the popular micro-blogging site, according to a new blog posting.

Biz Stone, co-founder of the site, wrote yesterday that the firm intends to "formalise" the process of retweeting so that users do not need to manually copy and paste tweets to share them with their own followers.

"Retweeting is a great example of Twitter teaching us what it wants to be," he wrote.
